Hi,
Just wanting to know if anyone has had camber problems(like vt/vx camber problems!)when lowering your vy.
Do you have to put in a kit?
How much and what brand is the go?
Any advice would be great!
Cheers.;)

yes put the camber castor kit, you tyre wear would be more even and last longer.

I think it depends how low you go. If you go to fe2 (or close to level), then i think there is a built in camber adjustment.
If you go low low then you'll need aftermarket stuff i think. Ask your suspension place

I'm with Jeffro - VY's already have camber adjustment, there's no need to spend money on a kit.

VY Acclaim
Back in June last year I fitted Pedders springs and shocks (FE2 equivalent height), and in March this year I had worn the inside of the 18x8 rears downs to the canvas. The tyres had only covered approx 27k. Pedders aligned all the wheels when fitting springs and even they were surprised when I took the car back with the worn tyres. They believed the standard camber adjustment should be sufficient.
With 4 new tyres fitted, the store just said rotate the tyres regularly and get used to the wear. This comment was repeated at another tyre store a couple of weeks later. It was also suggested that the wear gets progressively worse the wider the wheels over the standard 15in fitted.
All I know is I'll be watching these tyres very carefully.
